Imprisoned




Hear me! Heed me!
One more time!!
Hear my whispers, hear my rhymes
I fright!
For I sense my words would soon fade
If not uttered;
If not heard;
They shall perish forever,
And never shall wake

Artisted, I confess!
Crafted and beautified,
Indeed they are prettied
And mystified
But they are real,
They are sincere.

Prisoned in me for years.
They are chested
Amid agonizing noise
Silent; they are dusted
Hear them now
For they are fading
Free them!
For they are long awaiting
Take them
For I am weary of the keep.
In absolution,
I want to finally sleep
Hear me! Hear me!
One last time.

Then we were sold the stories like Mr. 10%, Jinnah Pur, an elected PM trying to be Amir-ul-Momaneen, we again bought the stories. Eight years of tyranny, result! yet another crop to reap. Ironically, who ...
